2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Calavo Growers, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Calavo de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Calavo Foods de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Calavo Growers de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ( Calavo Growers de Mexico), Maui Fresh International, Inc. (Maui), Hawaiian Sweet, Inc. (HS), Hawaiian Pride, LLC (HP), Avocados de Jalisco, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Avocados de Jalisco), in which we have a 80 percent ownership interest, and RFG.  We consolidate our entity Calavo Salsa Lisa, LLC (CSL), in which we currently have a 65 percent ownership interest.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

     Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of non-trade receivables, infrastructure advances and prepaid expenses. Non-trade receivables were $11.6 million and $12.3 million at October 31, 2016 and 2015.  Included in non-trade receivables are $8.4 million and $5.7 million related to the current portion of Mexican IVA (i.e. value-added) taxes at October 31, 2016 and 2015.  In addition, included in non-trade receivables at October 31, 2015 is $4.0 million related to the bridge loan to the then newly created joint venture Agricola Don Memo. Infrastructure advances are discussed below.  Prepaid expenses totaling $2.8 million and $2.3 million at October 31, 2016 and 2015, are primarily for insurance, rent and other items.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is computed on a monthly weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is based upon estimated replacement costs.  Costs included in inventory primarily include the following: fruit, picking and hauling, overhead, labor, materials and freight. 

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, using the straight-line method.  Useful lives are as follows:  buildings and improvements - 7 to 50 years; leasehold improvements - the lesser of the term of the lease or 7 years; equipment - 7 to 25 years; information systems hardware and software – 3 to 10 years.  Significant repairs and maintenance that increase the value or extend the useful life of our fixed asset are capitalized.  Replaced fixed assets are written off.  Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. 

 

We capitalize software development costs for internal use beginning in the application development stage and ending when the asset is placed into service.  Costs capitalized include coding and testing activities and various implementation costs.  These costs are limited to (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software; (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project to the extent of the time spent directly on the project; and (3) interest cost incurred while developing internal-use computer software.  See Note 4 for further information.

 

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment.  Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test would be unnecessary.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  Goodwill impairment testing requires significant judgment and management estimates, including, but not limited to, the determination of (i) the number of reporting units, (ii) the goodwill and other assets and liabilities to be allocated to the reporting units and (iii) the fair values of the reporting units.  The estimates and assumptions described above, along with other factors such as discount rates, will significantly affect the outcome of the impairment tests and the amounts of any resulting impairment losses.  For fiscal years 2016 and 2015, we performed our annual assessment of goodwill and noted no impairments existed as of October 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangible assets (other than goodwill), are continually monitored and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable.  The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition.  The estimate of undiscounted cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about future operating performance, growth rates and other factors.  Estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes in operating performance.  If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.  For fiscal year 2016 and 2015, we performed our annual assessment of long-lived assets and determined that no impairment existed as of October 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Investments

 

We account for non-marketable investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control, an investee.  Significant influence generally exists when we have an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee.  Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. 

 

In December 2014, Calavo formed a wholly owned subsidiary Calavo Growers De Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Calavo Sub).  In July 2015, Calavo Sub entered into a Shareholder Agreement with Grupo Belo del Pacifico, S.A. de C.V., (Belo) a Mexican Company owned by Agricola Belher, and Agricola Don Memo, S.A. de C.V. (Don Memo). Don Memo, a Mexican corporation formed in July 2013, is engaged in the business of owning and improving land in Jalisco, Mexico for the growing of tomatoes and other produce and the sale and distribution of tomatoes and other produce.  Belo and Calavo Sub have an equal one-half ownership interest in Don Memo.  Pursuant to a management service agreement, Belo, through its officers and employees, shall have day-to-day power and authority to manage the operations. In fiscal 2016 and 2015, we contributed $2.3 million and $1.0 million as investments in Don Memo. These investment contributions represent Calavo Sub’s 50% ownership in Don Memo, which is included in investment in unconsolidated entities on our balance sheet. In fiscal 2015 and 2014, we advanced Don Memo $0.8 million and $3.2 million. These monies, totaling $4.0 million, effectively a bridge loan, were repaid in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. We had recorded such loans in prepaids and other current assets. We use the equity method to account for this investment. 

 

Effective May 2014, we closed our Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement by and among FreshRealm and the ownership members of FreshRealm.  Pursuant to this agreement, Impermanence, LLC (Impermanence) was admitted as an ownership member of FreshRealm.  Impermanence contributed $10.0 million to FreshRealm for 28.6% ownership.  As a result of the admission of Impermanence, Calavo’s ownership was reduced from 71.1% to 50.8%.  The minority/non-Calavo unit-holders held substantive participating rights.  These rights existed primarily in two forms:  (1) two out of a total of four board of director seats and (2) a provision in the Agreement that states that for situations for which the approval of the Members, as defined, is required by the Agreement, the Members shall act by Super-Majority Vote.  As such, Calavo could not control FreshRealm through its two board of director seats, nor its 50.8% ownership.  Based on the foregoing, we deconsolidated FreshRealm in May 2014. In the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, FreshRealm issued additional units to various parties, which reduced our ownership percentage to approximately 49% at October 31, 2015. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, FreshRealm completed another round of financing in which Calavo invested $3.2 million.  During that round of financing, FreshRealm issued additional units to various parties, which reduced our ownership percentage further to approximately 46% at October 31, 2016. 

 

We estimated the fair value of our noncontrolling interest in FreshRealm by performing a fair value measurement.  This analysis was conducted with the consultation from a third party consulting firm.  Our investment of $19.4 million in FreshRealm million has been recorded as investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries on our balance sheet. 

 

Marketable Securities

 

Our marketable securities consist of our investment in Limoneira Company (Limoneira) stock.  We currently own approximately 12% of Limoneira’s outstanding common stock.  These securities are considered available for sale securities based on management’s intent with respect to such securities and are carried at fair value as determined from quoted market prices.  The estimated fair value, cost, and gross unrealized gain related to such investment was $34.0 million, $23.5 million and $10.5 million as of October 31, 2016.  The estimated fair value, cost, and gross unrealized gain related to such investment was $27.4 million, $23.5 million and $4.0 million as of October 31, 2015. 

 

Advances to Suppliers

 

 We advance funds to third-party growers primarily in Mexico for various farming needs.  Typically, we obtain collateral (i.e. fruit, fixed assets, etc.) that approximates the value at risk, prior to making such advances.  We continuously evaluate the ability of these growers to repay advances in order to evaluate the possible need to record an allowance.  No such allowance was required at October 31, 2016, nor October 31, 2015.

 

Pursuant to our distribution agreement, which was amended in fiscal 2011, with Agricola Belher (Belher) of Mexico, a producer of fresh vegetables, primarily tomatoes, for export to the U.S. market, Belher agreed, at their sole cost and expense, to harvest, pack, export, ship, and deliver tomatoes exclusively to our company, primarily our Arizona facility.  In exchange, we agreed to sell and distribute such tomatoes, make advances to Belher for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season (subject to limitations, as defined), and return the proceeds from such tomato sales to Belher, net of our commission and aforementioned advances.  Pursuant to such amended agreement with Belher, we advanced Belher a total of $3.0 million, up from $2.0 million in the original agreement, during fiscal 2011.  Additionally, the amended agreement calls for us to continue to advance $3.0 million per annum for operating purposes through 2019.  These advances will be collected through settlements by the end of each year.  For fiscal 2016, we agreed to advance an additional $1.4 million for preseason advances. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, we have total advances of $4.4 million and $3.0 million to Belher pursuant to this agreement, which is recorded in advances to suppliers.

 

Similar to Belher, we make advances to Don Memo for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season, and return the proceeds from such tomato sales to Don Memo, net of our commission and aforementioned advances. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, we have total advances of $0.9 million and $1.8 million to Don Memo, which is recorded in advances to suppliers.

 

Infrastructure Advances

 

Pursuant to our infrastructure agreement, we make advances to be used solely for the acquisition, construction, and installation of improvements to and on certain land owned/controlled by Belher, as well as packing line equipment.  Advances incur interest at 4.7% at October 31, 2016 and 2015.  As of October 31, 2016, we have advanced a total of $0.8 million ($0.2 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.6 million included in other long-term assets).  As of October 31, 2015, we have advanced a total of $1.8 million ($1.0 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.8 million included in other long-term assets).  Belher is to annually repay these advances in no less than 20% increments through June 2020.  Interest is to be paid monthly or annually, as defined.  Belher may prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of the advances at any time.  In order to secure their obligations pursuant to both agreements discussed above, Belher granted us a first-priority security interest in certain assets, including cash, inventory and fixed assets, as defined.

 

Accrued Expenses

 

Included in accrued expenses at October 31, 2016 and 2015 are liabilities related to the receipt of goods and/or services for which an invoice has not yet been received. These totaled approximately $12.4 million and $6.2 million for the year ended October 31, 2016 and 2015. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  These terms are typically met upon delivery of product to the customer.  Service revenue, including freight, ripening, storage, bagging and palletization charges, is recorded when services are performed and sales of the related products are delivered.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

We include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net revenues.  Amounts incurred by us for freight are included in cost of goods sold.

 

Promotional Allowances

 

We provide for promotional allowances at the time of sale, based on our historical experience.  Our estimates are generally based on evaluating the historical relationship between promotional allowances and gross sales.  The derived percentage is then applied to the current period’s sales revenues in order to arrive at the appropriate debit to sales allowances for the period.  The offsetting credit is made to accrued expenses.  When certain amounts of specific customer accounts are subsequently identified as promotional, they are written off against this allowance.  Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and such differences are recognized as an adjustment to net sales in the period they are identified.

 

Allowance for Accounts Receivable

 

We provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable.

 

Consignment Arrangements

 

We frequently enter into consignment arrangements with pineapple and tomato growers and packers located outside of the United States and growers of certain perishable products in the United States. Although we generally do not take legal title to these avocados and perishable products, we do assume responsibilities (principally assuming credit risk, inventory loss and delivery risk, and pricing risk) that are consistent with acting as a principal in the transaction.  Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include sales and cost of sales from the sale of avocados and perishable products procured under consignment arrangements.  Amounts recorded for each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 in the financial statements pursuant to consignment arrangements are as follows (in thousands):

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are generally included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Such costs were approximately $0.2 million for fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014.  

 

Research and Development

 

 Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are generally included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. FreshRealm, a development stage company, comprised the majority of our research and development costs in 2014. Total research and development costs for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were less than $0.1 million.  Total research and development costs for fiscal years 2014, were approximately $0.8 million. 

 

Other Income, Net

 

Included in other income, net is dividend income totaling $0.6 million for fiscal year 2016.  Dividend income totaled $0.5 million for fiscal years 2015 and 2014.  See Note 9 for related party disclosure related to other income.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Among the significant estimates affecting the financial statements are those related to valuation allowances for accounts receivable, goodwill, grower advances, inventories, long-lived assets, valuation of and estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets, stock-based compensation, promotional allowances and income taxes.  On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently available information.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.  Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws.  In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of our assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we perform an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset.  A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

 

As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions.  If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed and we will recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer applies.  Conversely, we record additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be.

 

 

The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty.  Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings.  Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and contingent consideration.  Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and the effect of contingent consideration shares.

 

Basic and diluted net income per share is calculated as follows (U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for awards of equity instruments issued to employees under the fair value method of accounting and recognize such amounts in our statements of operations.  We measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest. 

 

For the years ended October 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized compensation expense of $2,134,000,  $2,108,000, and $727,000 related to non-acquisition stock-based compensation.  The value of the stock-based compensation was determined from quoted market prices at the date of the grant.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

 

Our foreign operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency transaction costs.  The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the United States dollar.  As a result, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity are translated at historical rates.  Sales and expenses are translated using a weighted-average exchange rate for the period.  Gains and losses resulting from those remeasurements are included in income.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are also recognized currently in income. Total foreign currency losses for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, net of gains, were $1.1 million, $1.8 million, and $0.1 million.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We believe that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximates fair value based on either their short-term nature or on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets.  Due to current market rates, we believe that our fixed-rate long-term obligations have the same fair value and carrying value  of approximately $0.6 million as of October 31, 2016.

 

Deferred Rent

 

As part of certain lease agreements, we receive construction allowances from our landlords.  The construction allowances are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as a reduction to rent expense.  

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We were not a party to any material derivative instruments during the fiscal year.  It is currently our intent not to use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Additionally, we do not use any hedging or forward contracts to offset market volatility.  

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU, which amends the existing accounting standards for income taxes. The amendment required companies to report their deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets each as a single non-current item on their classified balance sheets. The Company elected to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and applied them prospectively to the current period presented, as permitted by the standard. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Company's net earnings or cash flow from operations for any period presented.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards 

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2017 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows, but do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant effect.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, which requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The guidance also requires qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows, but do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant effect.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU, which requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU for measuring inventory.  The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for us on a prospective basis beginning on the first day of our fiscal 2017 year. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows, but do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant effect.

 

    In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this amended accounting standard on our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows, but we do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a significant effect.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in a company's net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders.  For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, other comprehensive income includes the unrealized gain on our Limoneira investment totaling $4.1 million, net of income taxes.  Limoneira’s stock price at October 31, 2016 equaled $19.69 per share.  For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, other comprehensive income includes the unrealized loss on our Limoneira investment totaling $10.3 million, net of income taxes.  Limoneira’s stock price at October 31, 2015 equaled $15.86 per share.  For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, other comprehensive loss includes the unrealized loss on our Limoneira investment totaling $0.7 million, net of income taxes.  Limoneira’s stock price at October 31, 2014 equaled $25.66 per share.
